Marck, I agree COMPLETELY with your sentiments on this issue. I've
always done so but you made your point so well here, I had to
comment.:)

The only working crossroads I see here is easy synchronization between
the two managers to avoid having to duplicate some contacts.

The tight integration of the TB! with it's address book and the
functionality that tight integration offers would be lost with a
centralized system approach.

This basically illustrates the difference in priorities based on
peoples needs. Those who need a calendar in TB! actually need a good
stand alone PIM that support a export/import format that TB!'s address
book does. Synchronisation isn't even necessary in the majority of
instances. The entries in both usually only overlap. In my case, the
overlap is really small though I agree that the overlap would be much
greater in some instances. I strongly think that this particular last
point is being focused on way too much while ignoring the importance
of TB!'s tightly integrated address book in terms of functionality
that wouldn't be needed elsewhere on one's system with the converse
applying. A PIM would offer a lot of functionality that simply isn't
needed in the context of e-mail.

The two need to be separate!
